The hydrogen ions (protons) react with water to form hydronium ions (H3O) and the chloride ions are free in solution. Water and HCl both are polar and polar solute dissolves in polar solvent (water being polar solvent). ... However, the oxygen atom in water is more electronegative than the Chlorine molecule in HCl.
